Unable to get webview working on Centos 7

Hi

I’m new to the group, but I’ve been using wxPython for a while :slight_smile:

I have a project which runs fine on Win and Mac, but need to get it working on CentOS 7.

I’ve compiled up the latest classic source bundle, and all goes OK. However when I try and use the webview

I get an exception

wx.html2 is not available on this platform

However - I it works fine in ‘raw’ C++ using wxWidgets - so I know the webkitgtk2 is there.

Any idea what the issue might be.

I checked the config and it does show

checking for WEBKIT…yes

Thanks

R.

Can you provide any more details about how you built wxPython? That error message comes when wxPython is built where wxUSE_WEBKIT is not defined.

Just used the standard build method - e.g.

python build-wxpython.py

I do get the line

checking for WEBKIT…yes

in the config script output during the build.

I also tried on Ubunto 16.0.4

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk3.0

installs wxPython, but the webkit demo fails.

I tried installing

sudo apat-get libwebkit-dev

but still no joy.

What’s the error message?

There is a bug with it I just reported some years ago, check ppa for it.

there is a fix there too.

Hi

Thanks for the heads up on the patch.

I tried the various suggestions but none worked on my install.

The strange thing is wxWidgets works fine with the webview. It seems to be the linkage via python that is an issue for me anyway.

I’ll try a Debian installation and see if that works better.
